Dating the book of Job is hard. We are told that Eliphaz is a Temanite. We know that Esau had a son called Eliphaz who had a son called Teman, from which the Temanites decended. Elihu's father was a Buzite. Ezekiel's father's name was Buzi. Related? Possibly. Elihu was of the kindred of Ram...

No, not necessarily Edom, but there is a lot of circumstantial evidence. 1. Lam 4:21 Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom, that dwellest in the land of Uz; the cup also shall pass through unto thee: thou shalt be drunken, and shalt make thyself naked. (The land of Edom is only mentioned...

God had no reason to explain Elihu to Job. It was by Job's request that Elihu appeared. Doesn't it appear strange to you that no one could make a reply to Elihu, and that Elihu was given six chapters to himself. Job twice requested a man of clay to be mediator between God and himself. Job's...

Yes, Amazing beyond our understanding.

There is more in Lamentations. But look at how Paul speaks of Israel. Rom 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Rom 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom 10:3 For they being ignorant...

In Chapter 13:15 we find a "but" which is followed by the statement "I will maintain my own ways before Him." Job's ways are not right according to God, according to Elihu, according to the spirit, and according to Job. God said to Job in Job 40:8 "Will you condemn me that you might be...

1Co 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little...

We are at variance on this subject. Your thought lies with the majority of opinion. Thank you for your reply.

I believe Elihu is the writer of this book as he speaks in the first person. Job asks for a mediator who was made of clay. Job had said God would laugh at the trial of the innocent. (Job 9:23) Elihu and God Compare these verses carefully. Elihu said, “Job hath spoken without knowledge, and...

Interesting, I never considered that the book might have a connection to Jacob's troubles. I see no mention of 42 months in Jeremiah chapter 30.

Bruce greetings. I definitely believe it is historical.

Greetings homwardbound I believe you are referring to Job's first test, which he passed with flying colors. But where did God say Job will not deny me? First Test Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them...

From the first verse we are told that Job lives in the land of Uz, but not who he is. Yet, when you compare scripture with scripture you see many clues. Lamentations 4:21 tells us the land of Uz is where Edom dwells. Job's name means hated. Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but...

I love studying the bible. Job is one of my favorite books. So much to be gleaned from it.
